The Role: Senior Consultant – Critical Minerals

Join S&P Global's critical minerals consulting team and work on the supply chain, pricing and policy questions shaping the energy transition, for governments, miners, manufacturers and investors, with direct exposure to senior industry leaders and policy makers.

This role will contribute to the growth of our global critical minerals consulting team and to the execution of our broader Energy Transition team’s projects for private and public sector clients by providing analytical rigor, expertise in model development, and the ability to develop complex analytical work on small and large consulting projects, working under the direction of a Principal Consultant or Project Manager.

The Senior Consultant, focused primarily on critical minerals but with working knowledge of adjacent energy transition topics, is expected to strengthen our critical minerals consulting capabilities and work closely with clients and internal consulting team members to deliver their workstreams on time and to a high standard.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a dynamic team of consultants and experts with wide-ranging backgrounds in energy and the energy transition. The varied and changing nature of our projects leads to development of a diverse set of skills, and exposure to different industries and clients. As a Senior Consultant, you will be mentored by experienced managers and directors, gain exposure to client leadership, and have a clear route to grow within the team.

Responsibilities:

• Deliver analytical workstreams: Own and deliver analytical workstreams within larger projects, working with a Principal Consultant or Project Manager to produce on-time, client-ready outputs.

• Build models: Build and maintain models covering supply, demand, pricing, costs, and valuation across critical minerals value chains, including energy transition scenarios.
• Generate insights: Synthesize market intelligence on critical minerals and low-carbon technologies into clear, evidence-based insights for client deliverables.
• Engage clients: Conduct client metings and workshops, and present recommendations alongside project leads.
• Support business development: Draft proposal sections, join scoping calls, drive some of the IP development within our critical minerals consulting team.
• Strengthen the team: Review colleagues' analysis and give constructive feedback to raise project quality.

What We’re Looking For:

• Typically 2–5 years of experience in industry, management consulting, or finance, with demonstrated exposure to metals and mining, critical minerals, or energy markets.
• Solid mineral economics skills and a working knowledge of the metals and mining industry and critical minerals are key for this position.
• Exposure to energy or minerals value chains, including production, processing, distribution, or end-use consumption, and technical experience in areas such as chemical processing or process engineering, is valued.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct quantitative data analysis, build structured models, and translate complex datasets into clear, evidence-based insights and recommendations.
• A team player: good communication and collaboration are critical success factors in this role.
• Bachelor’s degree (BS/BSc) in Engineering, Earth Sciences, Economics, Finance, or a closely related discipline. A post-graduate degree (Master’s or MBA) in Finance, Economics, Business Administration, or a related technical or scientific discipline is preferred.

• Demonstrated written and oral presentation skills in English, including the ability to prepare and deliver structured client-ready materials to professional audiences. Proficiency in Spanish or Portuguese (written and spoken) is preferred.

• Preferred: direct experience in metals and mining (in a strategy, finance, or operational role) or critical minerals supply chain analysis; management consulting experience with energy, mining, or commodities clients; and an understanding of energy transition dynamics, including low-carbon technologies, renewable energy, energy storage, hydrogen, or carbon markets.

Expectations:

• Some travel is required, with an average around 20% of the time (but could occasionally be more)

• Demonstrated ability to collaborate in team-oriented environments, contributing ideas and constructive feedback across multidisciplinary project teams.
